As a result, it has quietly dropped its price by around 12 percent for the 16GB variant which instead of Rs 41,900 now is on sale for Rs 36,999. We expect the other variants to follow suite and an official announcement for Apple regarding the same as well.

You can buy the device through e-commerce portals like Amazon.in, Indiatimes Shopping and likewise with the reduced price. However, websites like Flipkart and Snapdeal are selling it for around Rs 38,000. Let us take a look at the specifications of the smartphone:
